Entity Developer Professional Edition

Entity Developer is a comprehensive piece of software that you can use to create, design and produce entity models and diagrams. It supports DO.NET Entity Framework, LinqConnect, NHibernate and LINQ to SQL, and it can generate C# or Visual Basic .NET code.

Installing Entity Developer shouldn't be a difficult task. As for the interface, the main application window is large and contains multiple options. You can start working on a new model by picking the type between LINQ to SQL, entity, or NHibernate.

A model explorer is put at your disposal, thus enabling you to easily navigate classes, associations, inheritances, methods, complex types, diagrams, tables and views, stored procedures, constraints, templates, and more. Designing the project is simple enough, as you can rely on basis drawing tools to make diagrams and connections between them.

It is possible to validate projects, update information with a model from the database or vice versa, generate a database script from the selected model, edit attributes, as well as examine model properties. Any errors can be studied in a separate list. Plus, you can change the UI skin and reset the toolbar layout, among other settings

As expected, the app uses a significant amount of CPU and RAM. It has a good response time to commands. However, it froze several times in our evaluation when we attempted to create new models, and we were forced to restart the program. Nevertheless, users can give Entity Developer a try to see whether it meets their requirements or not.
